The usage of MSE threw me a bit too, as Bjorn notes that's specific to
the SR-IOV capability. I think this also uncovers a latent bug in our
calling of vfio_bar_restore(), it really doesn't do a good job of
determining whether an enable bit is implemented, regardless of whether
it's a VF or the device simply doesn't use that address space. For
example I imagine you could reproduce triggering a reset recovery on
s390 by trying to write the VF command register to 1 with setpci from a
guest (since you won't have is_virtfn to bail out of the recovery
function). I think we'll still need this dev_flag to differentiate
unimplmented and enabled versus simply unimplemented to resolve that
though, so the change looks ok to me. Thanks,

Alex
